Oil futures in New York fell 2.7% on Wednesday, the biggest drop since May 2. The US Energy Department reported weekly crude inventories at their highest level since July 2017, with gasoline stocks also rising faster than expected.
Refinery utilization fell to its lowest seasonally adjusted level in five years.
